Dear Reid and Phoebe,
I suppose that this Workshop is going on today.

Me too.
Hi Daniel,
Glad to hear of your enthusiasm, and sorry to hear you won't be able to attend. In terms of remote participation, I have a couple of suggestions.
- Before the workshop, we'd love to hear any thoughts you might have.
Do you have time to briefly write up problems, solutions, observations, etc. that you see in this space? If so, you could e-mail those to Phoebe and myself; I'm sure they would be helpful in guiding the discussion.
I maintain the Brede Wiki http://neuro.imm.dtu.dk/wiki/Main_Page which is related to AcaWiki. I have topical pages, e.g., about Wikipedia research http://neuro.imm.dtu.dk/wiki/Wikipedia where I record links to research papers. On some pages I describe individual scientific papers (like AcaWiki):
http://neuro.imm.dtu.dk/wiki/Detecting_Wikipedia_vandalism_with_active_learn...
http://neuro.imm.dtu.dk/wiki/Category:Wikipedia
I keep structured information in templates and can generate BibTeX.
I also keep numerical data in csv pages, enabling numerical computations, see, e.g., http://neuro.imm.dtu.dk/wiki/MaND
- One of the products of the workshop will be proposals for what do to
moving forward, for the community to consider, develop further, and perhaps implement. We will publish and announce here. These will necessarily include a strong, if not exclusive, online component. I don't know what this will look like, but I'm sure there will be a great need for participation by folks like yourself.
I think we do not have the infrastructure to offer meaningful remote live participation during the actual workshop, sadly. We might be able to do stuff like liveblogging or tweeting. I'll talk with Phoebe.
I might keep a look out on etherpad today http://etherpad.wikimedia.org/wikisym2011
